Seeing that I am new to this hobby, I got some questions I'd like to ask. 1. How fast can a empty and loaded freight train go? (Im sure there are alot of variables when it comes to this) 2. Why do some locomotives have diagonal lines painted in the front? 3. How much does a new locomotive cost? 4. Why are some locomotives on a train pointed ahead and some pointed backwards while on some trains all the units are pointed forward? 5. What is sand used for? 6. Whats the differences between 286,000 lb rail and 263,000 lb rail besides that you can haul more weight? Is the steel better quality or denser? Or is the rail it self taller, thicker, or wider, etc.? Thanks Steve
